Your post is contradictive. As you say, one can achieve this very common
effect consistently across browsers today using just CSS:
a:link{
background-image: url('myImage.png');
}
a:hover{
background-image: url('myHoverImage.png');
}
Why introduce a new property? This will probably result in much more
incompatibilities between browsers.

Subject: Rollover-image Property
Given that it is already possible in CSS to do rollover effects (well
sort of, anyway) using a combination of the :hover pseudo-class and the
background-image property, then could we not have a "rollover-image" CSS
property which could provide this very common effect consistently across
browsers, with minimum markup, even if they don't support or have
disabled javascript?
